I n eed help on my tile transfers I have white subway tile in my kitchen .I want to dress it up a little .bought your transfer paper printed on laser printer . Etched the tile cleaned good used mod podge to the etched portion of the tile ,with the printed picture let it dry used water to removed the print pressed down let it set for about 1 minute when I peeled the print came off good but there was lot of the transfer around the designs stayed on also making it look fuzzy . I tried to wipe off the transfer paper the printed picture would start to come off also

@@bubweeleer2997 Step #1, please read the letter that comes with every package. Step #2, pay particular attention to the instructions on if you have any issues. 🧔‍♂

That's a big compliment. Thanks! :-)

Glad you like them!

Hope you enjoy!

Ditto

Thank you so much!

Hey, thanks a bunch!

You can do it!

My pleasure!

Looks like it will arrive by Monday. Nice. Thanks for your support. Be sure to follow the directions carefully. Watch several of my videos on the subject. And if you have any issues, I'm here to help! Just ask via email.

Thanks for watching and commenting. You may want to watch some of my other videos that demonstrate how you can use your inkjet printer. As for being in the UK, no it isn't available there, but can be shipped there.

Of course, reach away.

The paper I use for all my videos is the RixCanDoIt Quick Transfer Paper. This is also indicated in the description area of the video. The glaze is removed with Armour Etch Glass Etching Cream.

Don't know. No. I think it could. Thanks!

If you can print it, you can transfer it. The tool is a brayer.

It's all going to depend on the sealer you use. I wouldn't leave the transfer without some protection if you intend on washing or rubbing it for any reason. Find a good sealer (or epoxy) to protect the tile and transfer for use in wet environments or where you plan on cleaning it periodically.

@@imagetransferswithrix ah right thanks, can you recommend any particular one that doesn't yellow?

If you are going to use for display, then a Krylon Clear coat spray should be fine. If you are going to use it for a shower, tub, etc. then I'd epoxy it. Perhaps someone else might have other ideas.

Recommend using Gel Medium over Mod Podge. You are going to have a clear film that is the dried Gel Medium, so cut off any excess non-printed area. If you don't have a complete transfer but some spots left out, then either you have no medium there (like air bubbles) or simply missed when spreading, poor contact (not pressed down well), dried areas before the image was even applied, or areas where you still have glaze (and so it won't stick there). Keep in mind: If you can glue regular paper to the substrate and when dried cannot be removed (without crazy soaking, rubbing, scraping, etc.), then you can transfer an image there using the Quick Transfer paper (without the crazy soaking, rubbing, scraping, etc.) Any part of the image that is left on the paper and not transferred onto the substrate is the part that simply was not glued down to begin with. A properly glued paper cannot be pulled up off your substrate, and that includes the image. The Quick Transfer Paper simply makes it easy to separate the paper from the image, but the image still needs to be glued down first if you want to have it pulled off the paper.

@@imagetransferswithrix, thank you so much for your answer. Could you comment on the questions in my original post about the smudgy look and the wetness of the tiles after rinsing off the Armour Edge, please? I will get Gel Medium; do you use Gloss or Matte?

@@rebec52n I'm not sure what you mean by 'smudgy look and wetness of the tiles'. If you rinse off the tiles and it does not look uniformly 'not shiny' (all gloss removed), then you need to do it again until it is completely removed. Each tile may have a different amount of 'gloss' to remove, so you will just have to keep at it until it is completely removed. I use 'Matte' gel.

If glue will stick to it, yes. If not due to being glazed tile, then you'll have to remove the glaze for the areas you wish to transfer to. And for all surfaces, it must be smooth/flat.

I'm not sure I understand your question. Do you think (what) could be used to do (what)? In this video I am transferring the 'image' only and therefore there is no paper left glued to the tile. This would be much different than gluing paper pictures to the tile and leaving it on there. Or are you asking if you can do the transfer itself using 37lb paper instead of the paper I'm using? Let me know what exactly you are asking. Thanks.

@@imagetransferswithrix Thanks for your quick response. I was thinking of using the Gorilla Glue as the substrate for the ink to stick to. It would be the medium between the glazed tile and your paper. I'll have to order some of your paper and see if it works. Thanks.

@@MeCarl1 Oh okay. Thanks for clarifying. The tile would be your substrate, the Gorilla Glue your adhesive medium, and the paper is the QT paper. Got it. If the Gorilla Glue will stick to the tile, then it will work. But if I recall, G Glue is yellowish. Not sure it would be pretty. Let me know how it goes.

That's right. As long as you know that if you were to glue a piece of paper onto it that it would not peel off, then you know that surface can be transferred to. You'll want it nice and flat though.

Any laser printer or laser copier will work. Mine is a HP Color Laserjet Pro M254w

No. This video demonstrates that I'm transferring images from Laser printed image transfer paper. No sublimation. How this is done is clearly demonstrated in the video.

As I don't fire ceramics myself, I can only GUESS that if you did the transfer 'before' firing, the firing will likely burn the image off.

"print out of any ceramic tile with the heat press?" I'm confused.

I've never done sublimation.

For T-Shirts, yes. I never found any available for transferring to anything else. That's why I had to come up with one of my own and unfortunately found inkjets didn't work well but lasers did.

Don't know what release paper is. But this paper does release.

Depending on what products you are referring to, some you can buy online. 🙂

They are printed using a LASER printer. Inkjet does not work well and is not recommended.

Thanks. 😀

That depends on how you protect it. If you don't protect it, it won't be too durable in the shower. If you aren't going to put it in water or sun, and you aren't going to be scrubbing it, it will last awhile without protection. I suggest you look into how to protect tile for the type of project you are doing.

Thanks@@imagetransferswithrix

Ah...no. But you can make them.

It's the paper used to transfer the image onto the ceramic tile (or wood, paper, glass, fabric, etc.). It makes the process really easy if you have a laser printer as demonstrated in the video.

This is the first time in my life that I have seen something so beautiful, I was not sleepy and I was on KZfaq, and by chance I saw your videos, how interesting and what patience you have to explain all this procedure, I just subscribed ... thanks for this demonstration.. I think I can encourage myself to try to learn from your projects.. I loved it, apart from everything you have a lot of charisma

Spray a sealer on it.

bhah - translation: This is the most awesome video on putting images on ceramic tiles I've ever seen! 😆

Do not waste what and unsure of what?
